For a long time, microblogging platforms have struggled with the same problem. New users sign up, see an empty timeline, feel lost, and leave.
Bluesky recently solved this using community-created “Starterpacks,” and now Elon Musk’s X is stepping in with his solution.
To keep new users interested, X is working on an algorithm-based discovery feature.
Bitcoin X brings structure to crypto Twitter
According to X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, the company has spent months identifying influential accounts across different topics and regions.
These include prominent voices in areas such as cryptography, politics, culture, and more.
This is more than just a design update.
X wants to make it easier to join the platform by showing new users groups of accounts already prepared to follow.
Instead of searching on their own, users will get a personalized feed right away.
Bier said,
“We’ve compiled them into a new tool called Starterpacks: to help new users find the best accounts, big or small, for their interests.”
He added,
“Today we have around 1,000 and we hope to increase to 3,000 in the coming months.”
Market sentiment
This comes at a time when market data is showing mixed signals. While many investors feel positive about Bitcoin, according to crypto sentiment data.
General fear has increased considerably. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the fear and greed index has fallen to 34, indicating fear in the market.
However, this concern does not come from internal cryptocurrency issues, but from global politics.
A recent tariff announcement by US President Donald Trump targeting European allies raised concerns about a possible trade war, driving down Bitcoin prices for a short time.
But, at the time of this publication, Bitcoin is showing signs of rapid recovery, climbing back above $90,000, but this is not due to a technical update or cryptocurrency news.
For investors, X’s new tools can help navigate online influence, but understanding global politics remains much more important.
Final thoughts
- X is trying to solve the age-old cold start problem by guiding new users to influential voices from the moment they join.
- Cryptocurrencies receive special attention, with Bitcoin founders and supporters grouped into high-visibility lists.
